And these.This Pre-World War II Alexander Two Carburetor Intake Manifold is undoubtedly one of the rarest aftermarket Ford flathead intakes ever produced! This manifold has phenomenal patina and looks like it was just removed from a barn find. Its casting details are crude by current standards, but they definitely add to its overall appeal and stunning visual impact. I’ve done my best to capture many of its unique casting details in the attached photos. Its overall condition is good, with only one small corner of one carburetor mounting flange chipped off. This would be very easy to repair. It also has both of its risers, that converts the carburetor bolt pattern from four bolt early Winfield carburetor to a three bolt Stromberg.

Very few of these Alexander intakes had the “V-8” logo cast into the sides of each of its two intake runners, so it is likely that this is one of the first series of Alexander manifolds. This is as esoteric as it gets in unique aftermarket Ford flathead speed equipment! It will work on Ford flathead engines from 1932 to 1948, and even an 8BA engine wherein valley breathing will occur at the rear of the engine.

found this on another site............in an article about cheater speed tricks

we've got the original LO Stanly 3 carb intake for flathead ford on display at my museum right now. to skirt the rules about a single carb he engineerd two additional ones under the intake in the valley pan--two tiny set screws visble from top. ran like a scalded dog, but the driver in the first race couldn't keep his mouth shut. the upside it it got LO a job at Holman Moody

Federal Mogul theorized that the bronze-copper alloy would permit maximum combustion temperature (power) and still dissipate sufficient heat to prohibit overheating of the motor. After WWII, Bob McGee used this same type of Federal Mogul heads on his now legendary flathead-powered 1932 Ford roadster, which today resides in the Bruce Meyer collection.

Life is like a toilet roll. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes.
